Astral Dragon + Bramble Sovereign + Parallel Lives

Astral Dragon

Bramble Sovereign

Parallel Lives

How it works

1. Cast Astral Dragon by paying 6.
2. When Astral Dragon enters the battlefield, it and Bramble Sovereign trigger.
3. Resolve the Astral Dragon trigger, creating four token copies of Parallel Lives that are 3/3 Dragon creatures in addition to their other types.
4. Resolve the Bramble Sovereign trigger, causing you to pay 1 to create a total of 32 Astral Dragon tokens.
5. When the Astral Dragon tokens enter the battlefield, they trigger, creating an extremely large number of Parallel Lives tokens that are 3/3 Dragon creatures in addition to their other types.

This explosive sequence turns a single dragon into an overwhelming, table-ending swarm by leveraging a clever web of triggered and replacement effects. When Astral Dragon enters the battlefield, it targets your already-present Parallel Lives, which immediately amplifies the token multiplication. Thanks to Bramble Sovereign, paying a modest mana investment at the same time creates extra copies of Astral Dragon. Because Parallel Lives doubles *those* incoming dragons as well, the resulting cascade of triggers creates an astronomical, near-infinite army of flying 3/3 dragons and token multipliers.
